Is it for a regular check up or is something wrong with him?

An exotics vet will know what to look at. They will make sure they are heavy and hard shelled. Look in throat and at eyes, etc. Do a water balance check to look for any respiratory problems. A fecal check (take in a very fresh fecal sample with you). Maybe others I can't remember at this time.

I imagine rocky is a pet sore russian (petco or smart most likely) I would do a fecal check for sure.

Also write down some questions before hand so you don't forget, and be honest in your answers the vet can only help if you answer honestly ( not calling you a liar or anything like that).
